It’s time for a little announcement and yes, you heard it here first… I’m officially Autodesk-free! And what a great feeling that is to not have to deal with an entity “where software goes to die” (can’t remember who first came up with that one but don’t mind me quoting you). Not having to deal with lacking and/or online only docs and the poor state of the Civil 3D API is not unlike wearing shoes that are too small and being able to them off… a feeling of relief, that is.
Development has not been as fun and exciting as it was prior to Autodesk acquiring Dynamite VSP (and rebranding it as Civil View, integrated with 3ds max Design) and because of my 6000 mile relocation and in particular other plans I have for my business and the directions it should be heading into it seems about the right time to leave the Dynamite development arena so I can reclaim the time I normally spent on it and put it towards cool and new things. You can learn about the cool new things on ignyter.com and ignytion.com once I am (legally) able to unveil those. Which, granted, may be a while yet before I can, and will.
It’s been an interesting 10 years developing on Dynamite VSP and it’s been great to see all the hard core Dynamite VSP/Civil View users pull off some stunning and amazing state of the art civil engineering visualizations. My last development activities were mid this past year so any future bugs, don’t hold me responsible for any, ok? 🙂
Of course, many of you reading this are thinking “yeah, yeah, so what, show me more new office pictures, what’s happening with THAT?”. Trust me, I’m working on it along with some words of what is taking so long and how great my new dealer has been in providing support for a few (very strange) hardware issues that I have run into. I’m waiting for the office to be a little more complete before I start posting pictures again and doing a slightly better write-up. Sitting down to write posts and stuff has not been easy with a lot of driving and traveling and not being at home but once I get more settled expect me to catch up properly.
Let us know what YOU think!
